Tennis
“In tennis, the addict moves about a hard rectangle and seeks to ambush a fuzzy ball with a modified snow-shoe.”
“Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical
skill, but you can’t play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You
win or lose the match before you even go out there.”
Tennis is a very popular sport in Australia and is played by people of
all ages. Tennis can be played by two people (called ‘playing singles’)
or four people (‘doubles’). Players use racquets to hit a ball over a
net into the other side of the court. A game of tennis involves a
variety of types of play, including serving the ball over the net,
rallies (when the ball is hit back and forth between opponents), fast
movements and strategic game play.
"One of the things it taught me is that every ball that comes to me, I
have to make a decision." - Billie Jean King.
